We're excited to announce our Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI) has received £101,000 of funding from Innovate UK, to help educate SMEs (small to medium-sized enterprises) across Greater Manchester on the intersection of #artificialintelligence and #cybersecurity. The grant will help tackle the key challenges businesses are facing when it comes to the adoption of #AI, helping to increase the security of AI systems, as well as using the technology to enhance cybersecurity practices. Through accessible and user-friendly educational resources, the project will help SMEs to adopt AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, but also understand and mitigate the risks associated with integrating the technology into their #businessoperations. Our team of experts in this space, Dr Angel Jimenez-Aranda, Dr Yun Chen, Mirage Islam FRSA and Tarek Gaber will be leading this project. https://lnkd.in/e6V_MYgU
